The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 524: Many Traps (14)
Jinxiu came in with the medicine, just when she heard Jinxin's long-winded words, she couldn't help but interjected, "I'm afraid it will be more than that. Just now at the gate of the palace, Xiao Xiangzi saw that the imperial doctor Cao, who was in charge of taking care of the empress dowager, had gone to Bixiao Palace and said I want to check Concubine Li's peace pulse, think about it, how insulting is this? Also, just now, two old nuns also went to Bixiao Palace, saying that Concubine Li is new to the palace and doesn't understand the rules of the palace For fear of offending the Emperor, the Empress Dowager will not allow her to stay in bed for the time being, until she learns the rules."

When a girl from a brothel enters the palace, even if the emperor doesn't care if she is perfect or not, the queen mother cares about whether she has some hidden illness, and she is not allowed to sleep for a while because she is afraid of damaging the dragon's body, even the queen has nothing to say.

The slap of the queen mother really made many people feel better.With those two eyeliners in Bixiao Palace, Concubine Li would not dare to seduce the Emperor at will before the Empress Dowager said anything.

In this palace, there is really no one who can go smoothly.

Due to the cold these two days, He Shuyi couldn't even attend the emperor's birthday banquet. Even if she didn't meet her personally, she must know all these things.Qingchen was worried for some reason. Ye Hanyu had a pure heart, thinking of her childhood friendship, she would naturally treat Concubine Li kindly, but she might not know how Concubine Li would treat her. This friendship is worthless.

What she was afraid of was not that He Shuyi would be left out, but that she would be used by others.

Light rain began to fall in front of the lantern, Qingchen leaned against the window and looked at the misty yard, reflecting the lights under the eaves and reflecting the bright water.The rain looked no different from summer rain, but it just made people feel cold.Even though the charcoal basin had already been set up in the room, it was very warm, but she looked at the dripping rain and felt cold all over her body for some reason.

Bixiao Palace and Xihe Palace are only separated by a back wall, and any movement over there can be heard clearly.Not long after dinner, probably because the emperor came, the Bixia Palace began to be full of music and laughter, which woke up Qingchen who was dozing off on the small table.

She was already unwell, but the loud noise made her even more upset.Jin Xin was wiping the leaves of the two pots of orchid grass that Ye Hanyu had sent, and when she saw that she woke up, she whipped the cloth towel in her hand and said angrily: "I have been in the palace for so long, this is the first time I see someone who can be in my palace." Those who are singing and dancing make such a big commotion, as if they are afraid that others will not know that the emperor is with her, so it seems that the Queen Mother is still punishing her lightly today."

Qingchen rubbed his forehead and hurriedly stopped him, "It's your turn to vent your anger, it's a precious orchid, it can't stand your ravages, if it spoils, He Shuyi can't spare me."

Jin Xin pouted, and muttered angrily: "The harem is so big, it's not good where to live, but she came to us, but I'm afraid we don't know how much she is favored, who should give her eyes?"

"Since you know her purpose, why bother with her?" Even though she said so, she couldn't help but sigh softly, thinking about what to do in the future, can people have a peaceful life in the long run?
The crisp singing voice came through the night accompanied by the sound of the rain, adding a bit of mellowness and beauty. You don't need to deliberately distinguish it, you can also know that it is Concubine Li's singing voice.

Feng Changzai was good at dancing, and often felt inferior to those dancers in Si Lefang, but Qingchen believed that even she might abdicate now.The oiran of the brothel must have some real skills in singing, playing, singing and dancing. With just a face, it may be difficult to keep her position as the oiran.Besides, in that kind of place, there is never a shortage of capable women, and I am afraid that open and secret struggles are inevitable.

The rain was getting heavier outside the window, and it was washing the clump of green bamboos in front of the window. Yun Lan brought the medicine, and seeing that she was in a daze, she stretched out her hand to cover the window and said: "It's cold, my mother is still sick, I can't Blow the cold wind. It's getting late, so please rest after taking the medicine."

After thinking about it, he said: "If you really can't sleep, it's better to lie down and rest your mind."

Qingchen smiled wryly silently, but what he was thinking about was such a weather, would the emperor stay overnight in Bixiao Palace?Although the Empress Dowager issued a decree temporarily prohibiting Concubine Li from serving her bed, but with such a heavy rain, no one could get out of the house. Did the Emperor have an excuse to stay?It's true that even God is helping her.

The warm concoction was bitter from the mouth to the heart, and no matter how much candied fruit he ate, it seemed that the bitterness in his mouth could not be diluted. Qingchen had a severe headache, and lay in bed groggy for an unknown amount of time. The singing and dancing in Bixiao Palace seemed to have stopped Come down, but it's quiet outside, but she can't fall asleep.

Pulling up the bed curtain, she felt a severe tightness in her chest. Jin Xin poured some tea and drank a couple of sips, which seemed to make her feel better, but she still tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.Obviously very uncomfortable, but just can't sleep.

Concubine Li's singing and dancing really has a different style. No matter how beautiful the dance in the palace is, it always lacks charm. Whether it's a dancer or a concubine, it's impossible to dance a charming and affectionate dance because of the palace rules and etiquette. The dancing posture, only Concubine Li can do it.

Xiao Jun released the reward as soon as she was happy. Seeing that it was getting late, she got up and said, "My concubine Li is really different. It makes my eyes brighten and I feel at ease. It's getting late, so you should rest earlier." Come on, I should go back."

Concubine Li's radiant eyes dimmed in an instant, and her eyelashes filled with tears in the blink of an eye. She hugged him tightly and asked, "Does the emperor also despise concubines? If the emperor doesn't like concubines, why should he keep concubines?" No matter how you look at it, the courtiers and concubines don't care, does the emperor have the same thoughts as them?"

Xiao Jun said seriously: "What are you talking about? I am the Son of Heaven. Since I left you, I won't care about your past. I can't stay because the Queen Mother never asks about the affairs of the harem. , now that I have spoken, and she is not in good health, I can't make her angry because of such a trivial matter. The future will be long, and the next few days will not be short. In order to save your life, I will not hesitate to compromise with the Queen Mother and agree to her draft next spring. What else do you want from me?

Even though you can't remember many things before, but Xie's family is guilty of treason, you must know this.The queen actually took a big risk when she accepted you into the palace.I only made you a concubine yesterday, and all the officials handed me the papers this morning, accusing me of ignoring the laws of my ancestors and leaving the daughter of a criminal minister in the harem. It is not easy for me.So you have to understand me, if you annoy the queen mother again, I can't protect you. "

Concubine Li cried pitifully with pear blossoms and rain, and knelt on the ground and mourned: "The concubine has no relatives in this world, and only the emperor can rely on it. The concubine is afraid that the emperor will also dislike the concubine. The concubine is alive." What's the point in this world?"
